push/pop echo state
|

Hi.
I would like to push/pop echo state similar to what `setlocal` and `endlocal` does for environment variables. Is this reasonably easily possible?

ECHO file names containing '&'
|
| |
Hi
In a batch file I have a line like
FOR %%A in (%1) do echo %%~A
supposed to remove the possibly surrounding double quotes from the
first parameter.
When the file's name passed in as %1 is e.g. 'Butch & Spencer.txt"
I get: unkown command 'Spencer.txt'
OK I know '&' is kinda an operator for command concatenation... more »

I have a backup program that runs from a Win 98 startup disk (not a DOS box under Windows).
I need to be able to detect if it is running on Computer1 or Computer2.
Obviously, I cant read or see the NTFS hard drives to determine C1 or C2, but there are two differences I can detect easily under DOS. A DOS mem... more »

Missing xcopy?
|
| |
I have a WinXP cmputer at home that I sometimes use for programming. Remember the program distribution batch file I posted previously? Well, i doesn't work on that computer. When theconsole reaches the line that starts with "xcopy," the system complains that the command is not valid. I assume that the file is one of move, renamed or deleted. I have the Home Edition but not the install CD. I need this file to make it easier to pack a program for carrying places. How can I replace the file without breaking any rules?... more »

Current date stamp in batch file?
|
| |
I want to create a batch file in WinNT to automatically back up a program folder to a progam back-up folder quickly and easily for the purpose of having a copy to which to revert after experimentation or significant code change. In order to do this, I need to both extract the system date and report it in YYYY-MM-DD format into an archive target name. How do I do these?... more »

privacy: batch-killing (editing) hidden content of URL(!) files in win2K

Hello,
It's been a while -- actually: a few decades -- since I've been using batch files last time for more than just simple operations like moving or deleting files. Now I'm faced with a problem that appears to be a bit more difficult - at least for me. So I hope someone can help me out with a few good hints.... more »
